does anyone know of a place with all the different bobbins and specs, pics, or something to help identify them? i have come accross a box of bobbins of different sizes and configurations. i would like to know which ones fit which machines. one of the styles is bigger around and thinner, doesnt seem to fit any of my machines.

Oh in case anyone wonders, the quilt behind the little wall hanging is the one I am doing 'quilt as you go' on my 15-88! Nancy |

The really neat thing about this is that you can make a completely reversible quilt. Here I am using flannel on the back to make a comfort quilt, but I have done one completely reversible. Nancy Oh sorry about the pink, orange, and yellow stickies! I have to number the blocks to make sure they stay wacky! |

You are only working with one block at a time to quilt, but when I finish 4 blocks (the blocks are 17"s square), then you still have to do a little wrestling to attach them to the sashing. Not like trying to quilt a queen sized quilt, though, and wrestle the whole thing just to quilt it! I have done that many a time! The really neat thing about the way I did these blocks is your blocks don't have to all measure the exact same thing! When you use the back ground, attach it to all sides and put the blocks on point, wacky, then square each one up, no one ever knows your blocks didn't all measure exactly 12 1/2 inches! Love it!
